This morning I decided to pull out some sippy cups that I bought a long time ago. I wanted to see if they would understand and be able to use the straw part. Hailey was fine with it. Matthew screamed, cried, sobbed, whined, and banged it on he ground for about 20 minutes. Then he sat quietly with it for about 5 and figured it out. That kid is going to be a rough one, I'll tell you! Once they figured the cups out, they wouldn't stop drinking out of them...it was hysterical. Hailey was especially connected to her cup and, of course, Matthew would have to keep taking hers away. We're working on that...we really are. So, here are some pictures of the morning and their love affair with their new sippy cups. The one problem is that I have no idea how to clean them and threw the packaging away over the summer. Oh well...guess I'll just have to throw them out and buy new ones (yeah right...like Bill would let me get away with that!) 
Mom, it won't work! 
Yes, Hailey had to wear her kitty-cat hat from Halloween (which doesn't fit her anymore) and the apron that Alli gave her all morning...she's too much! 
I love this sippy and I'm soooo glad that I figured it out before Matthew...I gotta win at something, right?
These are the three big bruises that Hailey sustained this morning. She fell in her crib, smashing her face against the side, when she saw Daddy this morning. I was completely afraid that she broke her nose or chipped a tooth...it was bad. Then she slipped and dropped something near the Elmo table and when she bent down to pick it up, clipped her forehead on the table (right in the middle...between her eyebrows). She did that twice! She's really beating herself up today...who needs Matt?
Too cute...Matthew got this sweatsuit from his great-aunt as a Christmas present. He's finally in his 18-month clothes, so we have had a lot of fun with new outfits. Anyway, I told him that Elmo was on his tummy and he immediately started pressing on Elmo's nose. I realized that's what he does when he uses the Tickle Me Elmo Hands and he was trying to make his shirt sing the song...he's too much!
